Out on DVD this week:
1) 16 Blocks – RENT: Bruce Willis is starting to make a habit out of appearing in surpringly good movies. First, “Hostage,” and now this. What can we expect next year?
2) Kiss Kiss Bang Bang – RENT: If you liked the “Lethal Weapon” films (or at least the first two), you’ll absoultely love Shane Black’s latest entry into the buddy cop genre. The DVD, however, doesn’t offer enough extras to warrant a purchase.
3) The Pink Panther – RENT: I actually would have liked to have seen this in theaters, but had to pass in favor of the dreadful “Firewall.” Steve Martin has been very disappointing as of late, but I can’t imagine this film being nearly as bad as most of the critics made it out to be.
4) The World’s Fastest Indian – BUY: Easily one of the best films of 2006. The DVD is also quite impressive, and the inclusion of the 1971 documentary “Offerings to the God of Speed” only makes it that much better.
Also out this week is the soccer hooligan film “Green Street,” a re-release of Steve Martin’s “LA Story,” two special editions of “The Princess Bride,” and a few new TV-on-DVD releases including “Coach: Season One,” “Medium: Season One,” “Cheers: Season Eight,” and “Dead Zone: Season Four.”
